The best automatic vacuum and mop Robot Vacuum That Mops
Noah Pinsonnault is a product review analyst for the Home Care and Cleaning Lab at Good Housekeeping.
He conducts tests and reviews of cleaning appliances. His focus is on mopping robots and vacuum combinations. These multitaskers can be an excellent choice for those who are looking to get rid of mopping off their list of things to do. They feature impressive mapping and obstacle avoidance capabilities, and they can even wash and refill their own mopping pads to give themselves a hands-off clean.
The Eufy S1 Pro
This is the model you need to choose if you want an automatic vacuum robotic cleaner and mop that can also mop. It's smaller than the other models which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces or under furniture. It features a 220 degree lidar that combined with its 3D Matrix camera system gives it some of the most effective navigation and obstacle avoidance I've ever seen in a robot vacuum. It's got a battery of 4600mAh which can last up to 170 mins when mopping and sucking are set to standard mode. (It can run longer when it is set to turbo). It will even return to the dock to top up its battery halfway through an efficient.
It's efficient and does a great job of cleaning my two bedroom apartment. It can vacuum carpeted rooms fast and hardwood floors in the living room, kitchen and hallways in just one sweep. Its motor of 8,000pa is able to pick up dirt hair, pet hair, and poop easily. Carpet detection automatically increases power when it detects carpets and the dual side brushes help to clean debris from corners.
The mopping performance is less impressive, though not by a lot. The rotating mop spins fast and uses 2.2lbs to scrub dirt and stains. I've also noticed that the front arms protrude out a bit more than other robots, which is helpful to get into tight corners and along baseboards. The same front arms can also be used to sweep larger objects, such as broken toys and books.
Another nice feature is that the S1 Pro is one of the quietest robot vacuums and mops I've ever used. It is quieter and doesn't create more noise when mopping or vacuuming. The S1 Pro is only limited by the fact that it needs to use a proprietary mopping solution and is sold separately. It's simple to install and performs well, but this is something you'll need to be aware of in case you're purchasing this vacuum for the sole purpose of mopping.
The Roborock Q Revo
The Q Revo is different from other robot vacuums in its class. It has a robust suite of features that make it a great choice for homeowners looking to purchase an efficient, flexible and adaptable cleaning machine.
The device has an extremely powerful and impressive cleaning system that combines LiDAR sensors with an RGB camera to map your home and identify furniture and other obstacles. This information can be used to clean efficiently and methodically. This will result in a thorough, consistent clean which is also relatively quick.
In terms of mopping, the Q Revo's DuoRoller mop pads are capable of reaching a wide range of surfaces. This includes corners, baseboards and other difficult to reach areas. They also have a flexible side brush that can extend to the floor in close proximity to walls and other fixtures. Additionally the mop pads can be washed and dried to prevent the build-up of dust and reduce the smell.
App-based customization is a different interesting feature. The Q Revo allows you to alter the strength of suction, and choose between a back-andforth, or a more random patterns. You can also choose the number of passes which will determine how quickly it can move around your home. You can also decide to turn off the side brush to avoid damaging carpets and rugs.
This device is expensive but has many smart features. It's important to note that it incurs regular costs, such as mopping equipment and maintenance. For example the brushroll should be replaced every six to 12 months or after 300 hours. The filter should be cleaned after 150 hrs, and the mop pads should be changed every three month.
This robot vacuum that mops has a high rating on Amazon and offers a wide array of physical automation features. This includes the power button that can also function as a general 'Clean button as well as a Home button that will take it back to its base station after finishing its cleaning session. It also comes with a multifunctional dock which automatically empty the dustbin, refills its water tank and washes and dry its mop pads.
The Shark Matrix Plus
The Shark Matrix Plus will be the ideal choice for busy professionals or anyone who needs to keep their home clean without spending too much time on chores. Its powerful performance, intelligent navigation, and long battery life allow you to keep a clean home with little effort.
The Matrix Plus robot vacuum is a 2-in-1 vacuum and mop. It is capable of vacuuming as well as mopping. The robot is divided into two components which include a dry bin and water tank that can be snapped in and out and a mopping unit that is equipped with an elastomer pad. Separate modules for mopping and vacuuming may seem a bit old-fashioned, but they do mean you don't have to think about changing bags for disposables or refilling the water tank.
The Matrix Plus performed well at both vacuuming and mopping. Its best automatic vacuum feature is its precise floorplan map, which it uses when cleaning. The Matrix Plus was able to navigate around furniture, rugs and other obstacles. The app allows you to create 'No-Go Zones' or virtual barriers that prevent certain areas from being cleaned by mopping.
The Matrix Plus also did a surprising job of collecting hair from pets. It was able to collect an enormous amount of hair that our cats shed and even got into the nooks and crannys of our stairs which other robots struggled. The noise levels were low and there were nice jingles to inform you that it was in the process of finishing its work.
The app was too simple and you had to change the modules each time you switched between vacuuming and mops. The app isn't able to hold multiple maps, which could be a pain when you live in a house with multiple floors. The Matrix Plus robot is a ideal choice for people who want a smart device that can mop and vacuum.
The Yiko X1 Omni
The X1 Omni is the most expensive robot vacuum that mops in our review, however it has some unique features that make it worth a look. The X1 Omni's most appealing feature is its enormous dock which doubles as a charging base as well as housing for two water tanks, a clean sink, and an automatic 2.5-liter dust bin that is automatically emptys.
The base also has a variety of control buttons that allow you to start cleaning or recall the robot or start the dock's auto-emptying process. Hold down two buttons to switch on a child lock that is a great option for parents concerned about kids tinkering with the vacuum.
The Omni Omni, like other robotic hoovers vacuums, uses its camera to detect furniture and obstacles in its path. It will steer clear of them. True Mapping 2.0 navigation maps your home up to four times faster than laser detection systems.
Unfortunately, this means that the X1 Omni could occasionally become so entangled with obstacles, like a power cord draped across a rug--that it becomes stuck and stops working until you remove it manually. This was a rare incident however, it was a bit frustrating because the X1 doesn't have an "stuck status" alert in its app.
The X1 Omni isn't able to automatically switch from mopping to vacuuming mode during the cleaning process. You'll need to manually switch between the two modes, which isn't that bad however, mopping pads don't get cleaned or dried between use. This could lead to mildew and mold.
On the bright side it's worth noting that the X1 Omni is a beautiful-looking robot, thanks to the design team at Jacob Jensen (of Bang & Olufsen fame) who dreamed up its modern and sleek base as well as mopping pad. It's a major change from the utilitarian all-black bases used by competitors like Roborock and iRobot and a pleasing sight in a space which is dominated by clunky, boxy units.
